Missing fonts for tightvnc
by Robert Moskowitz 25 Aug '08

25 Aug '08

You would think installing via yum would handle dependencies, but perhaps fonts are not managed like dependencies..... Anyway, I installed tightvnc to test out its IPv6 support. Installed ok (after I erased regular vnc). But when I tried to start it, I got 5 warnings about: Font directory '/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc' not found - ignoring (then the same message for Speedo, Type1, 75dpi, and 100dpi). Then a fatel server error about: could not open default fount 'fixed' So I looked in the repos (curtesy of yumex) and did find a few 75dpi a 100dpi fonts, but there seemed to be a lot of these two. I installed a ocuple of them and tried again. Got the same errors. So how do I fix this one?

Problems with perl upgrading CentOS 5.1 to 5.2
by ArcosCom Linux User 24 Aug '08

24 Aug '08

Hi, I'm having problems with perl. I'm receivings this e-mails from logwatch everyday and appears to be a problem with perl. I explain a bit before expose the errors that I received: I tried to download all perl* packages, uninstall the repeated ones and reinstall all packages where installed. I need some help to try to solve this problem, because is a production server and I can't uninstall many working packages that depends on perl* ones. I read about similar problem in CentOS forums, with no sucess. Many thanks to all!!! Here is the report from logwatch: /etc/cron.daily/0logwatch: Errno architecture (i386-linux-thread-multi-2.6.9-42.0.3.elsmp) does not match executable architecture (i386-linux-thread-multi-2.6.18-53.1.14.el5pae) at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/Errno.pm line 11.

Lies wide open ...!
by ABBAS KHAN 24 Aug '08

24 Aug '08

Being as a Windows geek tho, I consider Linux as a more powerful server operating system than Windows. When I saw OS comparison at http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver/compare/linux/server-security.mspx I was shocked! Showed it to a friend and he felt like being brainwashed :D lol. What do you fellows think about this? Thanks.

Getting IP in installer
by Joseph L. Casale 24 Aug '08

24 Aug '08

How does one acquire an IP when in the ctr-alt-F2 console of the installer just as it begins? I must be doing something wrong, but I need to acquire one from the server before I start the installation. Thanks, jlc

Growing RAID5 on CentOS 4.6
by Stephen Harris 24 Aug '08

24 Aug '08

I have 4 disks in a RAID5 array. I want to add a 5th. So I did mdadm --add /dev/md3 /dev/sde1 This worked but, as expected, the disk isn't being used in the raid5 array. md3 : active raid5 sde1[4] sdd4[3] sdc3[2] sdb2[1] sda1[0] 2930279808 blocks level 5, 64k chunk, algorithm 2 [4/4] [UUUU] So then I tried the next step: mdadm --grow --raid-devices=5 /dev/md3 But now I have problems... mdadm: Cannot set device size/shape for /dev/md3: Invalid argument Can CentOS 4.6 grow md5 arrays? Or is the kernel and mdadm version too old? ( http://www.economysizegeek.com/2006/07/15/migrate-raid1-to-raid5-and-grow/ hints that I need 2.6.17 and mdadm 2.5.2, but it's hard to know what the RHEL/CentOS kernel has in it 'cos version numbers no longer match) I wonder if I could boot off a Ubuntu CD or something and grow the array that way. Would be annoying (many hours of server downtime)... -- rgds Stephen

Re: [CentOS] dynamic dns

Get your printer's Ethernet address, and add a host entry in your /etc/dhcpd.conf file like this one: host kyocera1 { hardware ethernet 00:c0:ee:62:7D:bb; fixed-address 192.168.168.246; } Then you can set up an A record for the printer in your DNS the usual way.
